OTTAWA — The Liberal government says it will bring in a bill on one-game sports betting, five years after a previous attempt died in the Senate.
The legislation on the House of Commons notice paper would amend Criminal Code provisions around gambling on single games of football, hockey and other sports, an activity that is currently illegal.
The bill could mirror previous parliamentary attempts to reclaim for casinos some of the $14 billion that the Canadian Gaming Association estimates is lost annually to the black market and foreign gambling websites.
In 2012, then-NDP MP for Windsor-Tecumseh Joe Comartin tabled a private member’s bill to allow single-game betting that zipped through the House of Commons with all-party support, but foundered in the Senate and died when an election was called in 2015.
Liberal MP Irek Kusmierczyk — Windsor-Tecumseh’s current representative — says in a Facebook post that the bill is about protecting 2,500 casino jobs in his region and strengthening the Caesars Windsor casino.
Las Vegas-style betting on single-game sports would open the books to gamblers eager to put down cash on individual games rather than just Pro-Line-style betting, where consumers wager on fixed odds around two or more games, depending on the province.

Windsor is a great Ontario city to live in as a sports fan. It just takes a quick 15 minute trip crossing the border into Detroit and all of a sudden you have access to professional sports teams from all four of the major North American sports leagues. I personally have stayed in Windsor on a sports trip to see the Lions and Red Wings live over the course of a weekend.
Sports betting has grown tremendously in Ontario over the past decade, and Windsor is no exception. It has become the norm for Windsor residents to place wagers on a wide variety of sporting events throughout the year, and I expect this trend to continue in the coming years.

Offline Sports Betting in Windsor
Offline sports betting in Windsor is available through Proline, which is the sports betting lottery offered by the Ontario government. You can check out our OLG and Proline pages to see how I feel about this betting option. Basically the odds provide far worse value to the player than the online betting sites listed above and you aren’t allowed to wager on single games.
My #1 tip for Ontario residents who bet through Proline is to make the jump to placing your wagers through any of the betting sites I’ve listed above. If you are a winning bettor you will see your profit improve significantly and if you’re currently losing money at Proline you may even break even or at least lose less by wagering at the fair odds provided by the betting sites.
Land Based Casinos In Windsor
Caesars Windsor is located right on the river in downtown Windsor. It’s a quality casino that allows you to bet on slot machines, table games and play poker. There is also a “Game Picks” section that is similar to a sportsbook, but has the same type of rules as Proline. Namely that you cannot bet on single games.
If you’re looking to place sports wagers I would still recommend SportsInteraction.com as your best option in Windsor.
Leamington Raceway
The Windsor Raceway closed in 2012 so there is no horse racing location within the city, but both Northville Downs and Leamington Raceway are about 45 minute drives from the city center.
For the purposes of this page I will take a closer look at Leamington Raceway because it doesn’t require crossing the border into the United States.
The track offers live harness racing every Sunday throughout the racing season, with betting on the races available at the track.

Windsor is directly across the river from Detroit, so its very easy for Windsor residents to cross the border and see professional sporting events in Detroit. I personally have stayed in Windsor on multiple occasions in order to watch Lions or Red Wings games across the river.
